Sophocles’ ANTIGONE is the 3rd play in his Oedipus cycle. Taking place long after Oedipus has died, the play finds his oldest daughter, Antigone, in the midst of a moral dilemma. Her traitorous brother has fallen in battle and Creon, King of Thebes, demands that he receive no burial. According to the gods there is no rest in the afterlife without a proper burial. Antigone must standup to her angry, irrational uncle and beg on her brother’s behalf. Even with support from others, Creon remains stubbornly unmoved. In trying to honor both the gods and her brother, Antigone’s actions have tragic consequences.

A tragedy by William Shakespeare first performed in 1599, it is one of four plays written by Shakespeare based on true events from Roman history. Set in Rome in 44 BC, the play depicts the moral dilemma of Brutus as he joins a conspiracy led by Cassius to murder Caesar to prevent him from becoming dictator of Rome. Following Caesar's death, Rome is thrust into a period of civil war, and the republic the conspirators sought to preserve is lost forever.
